Things you absolutely MUST do at DL - Page 3

nortonkids4 · 03-10-2008, 11:02 PM

Here's a few weird traditions of the Norton Clan:

1) We always salute the the CMs manning Space Mountain ride who look at you through the glass above you

2) As stated on the beginning of the ride at Indiana Jones, we used to close our eyes at the beginning of the ride until we heard Indiana's voice! (My little brother still does this, hoping we can avoid the rest of the ride!)

3) On Casey Jr. we always try to get the "Monkey" car and act like monkeys the whole time! (We're one huge family of monkeys!)

4) On Indiana Jones, when we get to the room with the huge ball falling, we reach up to Indiana on his rope and yell, "Jump! Jump! Come in! Come in!" AND of course thank Indiana for saving us!

5) We always go to Tom Sawyer's Island. For some reason that's one of our favorite places to be at. We like to take some time to just enjoy the park and that is one of our favorite places to hang out at. We also go to the Snow White's wishing well. (That well has magic in it!)

6) And of course we have a churro! Although with a family of 6 and it costing $3.50, we can't do that each trip!

Yeah, I kinda have a weird family, and we're definitely odd, but many have said my family is the best family to go to Disneyland with! We all really enjoy the park and know our way around, and we do allow time to relax and just enjoy being at Disneyland! Oh, and we also look at the partners statue and pay tribute to Walt too!

^ when was the last time you went to Dl???

Last time i was there, my group was walking past the casey jr. train ride and we heard a group of people howling like monkeys. I'm not kidding, i don't know if that's something that happens all the time, but if not, that could have been you nortons!

I do this too, yet I would say 90% of the time no one else in the jeep does! I find that amazing that more people don't get into it. Well, maybe next time I will find myself riding with y'all and we we have a lot of fun telling Indy to jump!

The rock scene in Indy just makes me crouch down in my seat... I'm 6'4" and always afraid of getting beaned in the head with something. Unfortunately, the inverse effect is that at the bottom of that ramp, I once smashed my mouth pretty hard on the bar in front of me ^_^

I always have to have a dole whip and my gf always gets the pineapple spear which we ultimately end up sharing anyway, also always get the obligatory churro which i probably eat 3 or four of during the course of the day. i always also have to ride the major attractions like space, splash, big thunder, matterhorn,indy, potc, hm, blab,screamin, soarin, and tot. i always see the fireworks and fantasmic just before i leave and i always make sure to get some white chocolate on my way out! they have the best white chocolate i have ever tasted
in may i get to go with my gf and her mom. her mom has never been and we get three days in the park so im excited to make some new traditions and show her all that the park has to offer

Your family sounds WONDERFUL!!!

POTC and HM are a must each and everytime we go. If it's our Anniversary or Birthday we always go to City Hall for a pin. It's awesome to have CM's and other guests say Happy Anniversary/Happy Birthday!

CLASSIC HM · 03-25-2008, 11:55 PM

Ride all top 5 attractions between January and September each year. From late September to early January only 4 of the top 5 are operating. Aside from that, ride Matterhorn at least once during nighttime as well as Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage, The regular Haunted Mansion, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad and so forth.

alas, they took away the one thing that I always had to eat...their pickles. They changed them a couple years ago and now they are nasty!! I used to see people eating them all the time and now I rarely see people with them. Bring back the pickles!!! Other than that, Peter Pan. We have to go on Peter Pan!

This well known person and I had fun on Pan:

Personally, I have to see fireworks and Fantasmic. Also, when riding Pirates, there is apart when a drunken pirate is sitting on a bridge with one foot hanging over the edge, and our boat goes under him. I *can not help* but look up and look at his foot *every stinkin time*I go on that ride. =P Not kidding at all.

Ghoofie- I know I'm going to end up kicking myself, but who is that?!

I've got to ride POTC first. Every time. Also, I have to get a churro from the cart close to the Haunted Mansion.
